Re: 67 short step Daily driver build, 5.3 and 33s

Thanks! Moving on along I wanted a under bed tank, so following some advice on here I went with a 53-54 Chevy car tank from tanks! Setup for fuel injection but I just couldn’t bring myself to pay for there pump and sending unit,more on that later. First things first the tank fits with some trimming but I didn’t like that the one crossmember was crooked and I would have to trim a lot off it to get the tank to fit, so I cut it out, flipped it upside down and backwards and put it in square to the tank, felt like 3000 test fits and grinding a little more here and there to make it fit to get to this point


Also didn’t expect the filler to interfere with the frame as bad as it did, if the truck was just gonna be a looker I wouldn’t care but this truck is gonnna get worked hard and tow heavy so I decide to make a pass through, kinda hated how it looked once done but it’s growing on me. Gonna add a plate on the inside of the frame next time the tank comes out, here’s a few pics of the progression on the pass through
